loadbearer benchmarks a machine's CPU, memory, disk and network stack - and its
GPU where there is one - scores every measurement against a shared reference
baseline, and grades each component and the whole machine on an S-to-F scale.
compare mode reads two result files and reports which machine wins, by how much,
and why. A sustained-load test shows how much speed a machine keeps once it
throttles. Single self-contained binary, no runtime, no network calls.
